What's your view on Sissoko?
"He's not a footballer"
But you don't think he's shit
Don't let facts get in the way
They had Zabaleta at right back last night, who’d just played 2 days ago and is at the later stage of his career. Someone with pace would have got in behind him last night, something we didn’t do.
Jesus, the irony
Sammy you remember facts the way it suits your arguments, you don't seem to understand much that is being said to you at all. You constantly misinterpret what posters say and create straw man arguments to support your tortured thinking.
On top of it all you seem to revel in being personally obnoxious.
It would almost be funny if you weren't such a tragedy.
Don’t get me wrong, I love him. But there’s times where he should have passed the ball, he lost possession or made the wrong decision. He’s not the only one, there were plenty. Just me getting frustrated easily.
Was Dele benched and immediately improved form?
One word answer.
Yeah, you disagree with Poch so you think you can do a better job than him.
I've told you before, you don't like my style, then look in the mirror.
I speak to people in the manner I'm addressed
I think Son is the epitome of effort and desire. Rarely post, so please take this in context.
Yes, some of his first touches are poor, yes he loses possession from time to time, but so does Dele and Eric and many others. Difference is he chases everything. He has a good old dig. He represents everything i want on a footy player.
Very proud of his effort today... His interview post the game, said it all. Class act in my eyes. #COYS
I think he's limited as a professional footballer, I think he's below the standard of players we need as a club and I think that he's effective defensively.
Taken as a complete player he has too many flaws to make him worth keeping at the club.
That analysis in your language most probably would be articulated as "he's shit."
Righto
If you were German you would argue that your country won the war. Irrespective of the evidence before your eyes.
You revel in being blunt, and actually think it's a virtue.
Get a job on MOTD.
I am judging him on what I saw last night.
Watch the game again, is all I can suggest.
I understand what a DM player is there to do and I accept that's what he did. Keep some perspective though, how much actual attacking did he have to deal with?
I'm not a stats freak, so I'll settle for"next to bugger all"
Now look at what he tried to do, given his underemployment. Yep that's a struggle, but like you said he stuck to his brief, irrespective of how the game was rolling. Dier tried to make passes and misplaced or had them intercepted - so he's worse??? Really?
Then look at all of the passes that he completed. Would you say that someone who passed the ball to you with two opponents marking you were giving you a good pass because it arrived at your feet, or was doing you a disservice?
How. About the times he hit a running player, rather than in front of them, or actually made them stop to go back and get it?
As for the bit about people avoiding passing to him - don't burn me for saying that, when I qualified it by saying it was a feeling and that I can offer no proof. Just my opinion. Ok ok, if I put it out there - it's there to be shot at, I'll keep that to myself in future.
Massive credit to you for sticking up for him, when you don't think much of him though. He didn't have much to do though, did he?
To be fair, Son got behind him numerous times. Problem was they ultimately doubled up with Kouyate.
A pacy wing back willing to overlap would have helped though.
Sissoko seems not a football gifted player but he can do a job. Where people rate him on a 10-0 scale is their prerogative. I feel his better than Dembele is at the moment and for what we need. With players as Sissoko, its only when they are removed you can see what they bring. Siissoko and Aurier play well together although last night , it went a little wrong or it was the way they were told to play?
Nope, looks like Chelsea are after him anyway so never going to happen.
Mate, seriously you are making stuff up.
Think back to the context of the game (low block, narrow shape, 9 men behind the ball) and think what our other DM's have done in games like this and he did exactly the role he was asked to do, exactly what Winks has done (think Sissoko was better defensively than Winks in last nights context too) people moaned at Winks for sideways passes too, but again that's in the job description (Winks is a better passer but we don't see these passes in a game like last night, we see him go sideways too).
Dier is a better player than Sissoko, I'd pick him all day long over Sissoko but last night Sissoko played better than him in that role, this is the simple fact of the matter. I'm not even getting on Dier's case, I thought he was OK but reality was Sissoko had the better game by being better at doing the Role he was asked to perform.
